by the end of this the friar has been kicked out of his order, poor bunny

And so the days continue for Brother Peire on more or less the same schedule - work, prayer, study.  Visiting Sers Aelinor with Brother Gueri, visiting the prison to talk to Rainaut.  Brother Hernaudin convinces him to come talk to the boys in the friary school, because he's spent time with a heretic and they seem to think he has something interesting to share with them.  They ask him questions about Rainaut - what does he look like? Can you see his apostasy on his face? Is the inquisitor torturing him very badly? Is he going to recant? Did he give the inquisitor the names of his heretic friends? - which he tries to answer as best he can, without admitting anything suspicious about himself or his growing friendship and affection for a man whose company he enjoys even though he knows he probably shouldn't.

( He can confess his worry about the state of Rainaut's soul )
